Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy - All Power Cells in Misty Island

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy's Misty Island: A Comprehensive Guide to Secrets and Treasures

Misty Island, a location shrouded in mystery in the early stages of Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, holds significant importance due to its connection to the game's central event—Daxter's unfortunate transformation. While initially daunting, Misty Island rewards intrepid explorers with numerous secrets and Power Cells. This guide provides a detailed walkthrough to help you navigate its challenges and claim its treasures.

Unlocking Misty Island:

Before embarking on your Misty Island adventure, you must first assist the fisherman in the Forbidden Jungle by helping him catch 200 pounds of fish. This task unlocks a Power Cell and grants you access to the Speedboat in Sandover Village, the only means of reaching the island.

1. The Sculptor's Muse:

Your first objective on Misty Island involves retrieving the Sculptor's Lost Muse, a golden creature resembling Daxter. Located near the docks, the Muse is elusive. You'll need to chase it, utilizing roll jumps to traverse the terrain and strategically intercept its movements. Breaking large bones along its path creates makeshift bridges. Once captured, return the Muse to the Sculptor in Sandover Village to receive a Power Cell (save this for later).

2. Blue Eco and the First Power Cell:

Return to the Muse's initial location, turn right, and navigate a platforming section filled with blue eco orbs. Collect as much Blue Eco as possible, then reach the Precursor Platform (see image 3). While charged with Blue Eco, activate the platform to cross the gap and obtain a Power Cell.

3. Conquering the Lurker Arena:

The next Power Cell lies within the arena where Daxter's transformation took place. Charge with Blue Eco and enter the Precursor Door. Defeat waves of Lurkers, utilizing their dropped Red Eco to your advantage, while dodging aerial explosives. Victory reveals stairs leading to the Dark Eco Pool and a Power Cell.

4. Scaling the Lurker Ship:

After clearing the arena, turn right and cross the bridge to the Lurker Ship. Climb to the ship's top to claim another Power Cell.

5. Disabling the Cannon:

Ascend the ramp, skillfully dodging rolling and bouncing logs thrown by Lurkers. Utilize the platforms for respite. Eliminate the two Lurkers guarding the cannon to obtain a Power Cell. Use the cannon to destroy metal boxes in the arena below to collect Precursor Orbs.

6. Eliminating Balloon Lurkers:

Use the Zoomer (accessible via the Lurker Ship's opposite bridge) to eliminate five Balloon Lurkers patrolling the bay. Master the Zoomer's controls (brakes, accelerator, hop) to navigate mines and target Lurkers effectively. This yields a Power Cell.

7. Zoomer Power Cell:

Ride the Zoomer up the ramp (as pictured in image 1), navigate around the rock (image 2), accelerate towards the edge, and execute a well-timed hop to reach the Precursor Orbs and Power Cell.

8. Locating Seven Scout Flies:

Seven Scout Fly Boxes are scattered across Misty Island. Their locations are as follows:

• First Scout Fly: Located along the Muse's chase route, use a seesaw and ground pound to reach the cliff. (See image 1)
• Second and Third Scout Flies: Found near the arena entrance (before the Blue Eco section). Navigate the crumbling path. (See image 2)
• Fourth Scout Fly: After exiting the arena, use a seesaw to access a cliff overlooking the bay.
• Fifth and Sixth Scout Flies: Located on and near the Lurker Ship (one past the bridge, the other on a platform during the log-dodging section).
• Seventh Scout Fly: Found near the top of the ramp used in the Zoomer Power Cell section.

After collecting all seven Scout Flies, return the Sculptor's Muse to complete your Misty Island adventure.
